Next up: More new prefix tags...
Current task list:
- Repair the perldoc:// tag
- Repair the jargon:// tag
- Streamline pad:// so that [pad://] returns "my pad" for the posting monk.
- Investigate lucky:// and see if [lucky://try|this] is broken or not.
- Investigate feasibility for section specific search links, e.g. user://, sopw://, med://, q&a://, and so on.
- Try to streamline HTML.pm, per tye's suggestion.
- Update doccy.
- Under consideration: add a /think chatter tag?
Also, /me wonders what people think of these as new link tags:
- ora:// to search O'Reilly's website.
- rls:// to search merlyn's column archives.
- imdb:// to search the Internet Movie database.
That's the end of the current content. Archives are below...

Earlier: I'm no longer confused about regex parsing of white space, puncuation, and words. See below.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $sentence = "I am Sam. Sam I am."; my @words = ( $sentence =~ /(\w+|\s+|[[:punct:]]+)/g ); my $element; my $count = 0; foreach $element (grep { !/\s/ } @words) { print "Element ", sprintf( "%02d", $count++ ), ": $element\n"; }
works as desired. It yields:
(thanks, tye and zaxo)Element 00: I Element 01: am Element 02: Sam Element 03: . Element 04: Sam Element 05: I Element 06: am Element 07: .
